Today, rather than buying one pork chop big enough for myself, I bought two smaller chops just so the cashier wouldn't think I was eating by myself. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ordered two double cheeseburgers from McDonald's and asked for one of them without pickles so they would think I was ordering for two people. Both burgers were for me. FML
Today, I ordered takeout. When I looked in the bag, I saw they'd included four sets of plastic cutlery. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, then estimated that there must be at least four people eating such a large meal. I was eating alone. FML
Today, I went to the drive-through and ordered 5 cheeseburgers. I told the cashier that some of them were for my girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend, and I ate all of them by myself. FML
Today, I stopped at a mini-mart and bought a family-size bag of potato chips, a tub of dip, a box of toaster pastries, and some snack cakes. The guy at the counter said, "Wow, someone's hungry!" I told him it wasn't all for me, paid, and left in a huff. It was all for me. I ate it all by that evening. FML
Today, I ordered a large stuffed crust supreme pizza for myself. When I picked it up, I asked for extra plates and napkins so the cashier wouldn't know I don't have any friends. FML
Today, I bought some mandarins so that there would be at least one healthy thing in my shopping basket, and I wouldn’t feel like such a fat lard at the checkout. FML
Today, I ate out, even though I was tired. When my main course arrived, I realised I had sent both my forks away with the starter plate. Rather than say anything, I ate dinner with two knives. FML
Today, while shopping, I told my wife I'd love some pork chops for dinner. Someone nearby muttered, "That's practically cannibalism, ya fat pig." My wife immediately had a "coughing attack" that sounded suspiciously like it was covering up laughter. FML
Today, while on break from work, I went to the cafeteria and bought cheese cubes. One of my coworkers, who is usually very pleasant, asked to try some and I said yes. She ate all the cheddar cubes in the bowl, which are the only ones I like. I wasted $3 for someone else to eat my food. FML
Today, I ordered food for delivery. I actually made it sound as if there were other people at home so I had an excuse for ordering so much. I don't think they bought it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Does it matter what the cashier thinks?

Who cares what other people think? I was a cashier once, long ago. The cashier probably didn't care or notice either.

It's crazy how weirdly excited I get when there is a post from Australia, let alone Queensland because I live there

I'm a cashier. I wouldn't have noticed. At all.

The only purchase I remember from retail days was the woman who could not afford feminine anti itch cream so she put it back and bought a bottle of rubbing alcohol. My mind went to a dark place. Also men wearing bub overalls and a john Deere cap should not buy cooch plugs... just not right.

Who cares about the cashier. You have much bigger problems. If you need to buy two to be 'enough', it sounds like you're eating too much...

You shouldn't care what someone thinks if you one big pork chop instead of two then get one. You are not the only single person out there that buys groceries for one. I am an example for one.

You do realize that's not the issue, right? The underlying point is the op is saying he/she is depressingly lonely...

What a life hack! They will cook faster, you look taken and smaller cuts are typically leaner! Less wasted chops. Win, win, win!

Why would you care about what the cashier thinks?

As a cashier I can assure you that we couldn't care less.
